North Central Oregon Smoke Report
The Chemult Ranger District, Fremont-Winema National Forest plans to implement the Boundary prescribed burn on Friday, September 13, 2019. Favorable weather conditions have created a window of opportunity to successfully treat up to 13,000-acre prescribed burn located 10 miles southwest of Chemult. Aerial ignitions will be in use and planned fire activities are expected to last 2 to 4 days. Parts of Deschutes County are seeing some smoke impacts from this burn.
Land managers and public health officials have come together to develop two new tools that will provide Central Oregonians with a one-stop shop fire information resource. Central Oregon Fire (www.centraloregonfire.org) offers up to date information on prescribed fire and wildfire locations, smoke impacts, and health resources. Also, you sign up for text alerts about prescribed fire by texting “cofire” to 888777.
There are no large fires in Central Oregon right now, but smoky skies have lead many to inquire whether we have a new large incident close to home.
